Oroans: Geographical Dimension

Once
Kurukhs were lived in "Indus Valley
Civilization" before 2500 B.C., they lived there
peacefully and sophisticated life. They were not enable to stay
there, due to frequent attacks of Aryans, flood and anomalous
atmosphere. They had been migrated to west coast of India at Karnatka region, M.P., than they came to Rohtashgarh of Bihar, where
they made a huge fort. But here also, they could not stay a long
time, because they had been driven out by the Cheroes and
Afgans/Mugals. And finally they went and settled to the Chhotangpur
plateau in Jharkhand state. They were divided into two flocks
from Rohtasgarh, one went to the Rajmahal area in Santhal Pargran
region and made their resending place at plate of river Ganga. Today
they are called Malto Paharia and speak Malto. Another larger flock
came to the Chhotanagpur plateau in Jharkhad state. They are
Kurukhs.

Presently they are living in Bihar,
Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bangal, Assam, Andaman & Nicobar
island, Tripura, U.P. and Orissa states of India. They are found
in Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh Srilanka and Marisus
countries of the world. A kurukh scholar Dr. Nirmal Minz,
former principal of Gossnar Collage Ranchi, expressed -"Kurukh tribal people besides
Chhotanagpur, largely found in Kurus countary (today it is called Sasaram
area in Bihar and the area of Rohtashgarh), Khusra, Doyrasha, Panary, Dori,
Chhechhari, Nawagarh, Biru, Barwe, Gangpur, Banai Bangla, Sambalpur,
Rajgangpur, Manoharpur, Jashpur, Raigarh, Surguja, Pargana and minor at
Chakardharpur, Chaibasa, old Purnia, Champaran, Duwars in West Bangal,
Jalpaiguri and at Dhinajpur and nearest area of Bangla Desh. Oroans
are residing at Eastern Terai, Janakpur Zone, Dhanusa, Bhokaha,
Dumraha, Chitaha, Siraha, Enruwa, Sunsari in Nepal.
A number of educated/worker oroans have settled down in metropolitan cities
like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata and many other cities of
India including Patna, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Hyderabad, Allhabad,
Bangalore and Luknow. Some educated Oroans have been settled abroad
in Us, England, Australia, Canada and Europe to get better job. There are about 90,000 people reside in
Dhinajpur, Rangpur, Bogra and Rajshahi districts in Bangla Desh
according to a professor of Dhaka Univercity. But they like to speak
Sadri rather than Kurukh, only 25000 kurukhs are speaking their
mother tongue. Some people gone to the Marisus country to be a labor
and settled there.
